Overview

These compact, lightweight Fence Clamps allow you to secure a huge variety of shop-made auxiliary fences to your existing fences without having the clamp interfere with your work. The clamp arm simply fits into a 3/8" hole in the top of the auxiliary fence, keeping it out of the way. That means no more clunky wood screws and C-clamps and no need to screw into your expensive fence! Clamps can be used singly as stop blocks, or in pairs for sacrificial fences, half-fences, resaw fences, and a variety of other fixtures. One set of clamps will do it all! Includes 2 clamps.

Features:

Rigid aluminum body with steel threaded components

Range of travel 1/2"-5-3/4" (1/2" minimum assumes a 3/4" auxiliary fence; you can clamp to an even thinner primary fence if you use a thicker auxiliary fence)

From the inner peg to the clamp foot I got 6". The inner peg I screwed out till it fell out and screwed it back in till it was stable to pull apart and that was six inches. I don't know how much torque you could put on it, but I was pulling on both ends pretty hard. Anyway the gap is six inches max.

Because I am in my easy chair and not out in my shop, I will answer the question this way; these clamps open wide enough to clamp on my SawStop Saw's fence affixed to 3/4 sacrificial stock. However wide that is and sorry for not providing exact measurements. They open 2 ways; the screw knob but also the end piece rotates in and out for precise control. I love mine and after getting them, I ordered a second pair. Hope that helps.

Reviews

I have had these clamps for a few years now, and thought I would do a review after I found out something lately. There are some flaws. First of all, the head on the clamp that is on the fence does&nbsp;not swivel. This makes for a few problems. It marks up the face of the fence, so bad that when I went to use a jig that rode on the fence, it wouldn't ride smoothly till I filed down all the burs. Second of all, tightening it down is a little difficult because of the non-swivel action of the head, and the fact that you have to have the bracket exactly perpendicular to the fence. All in all, I still enjoy this product. I think I will go adhere some felt/cork on the bottom of the head now to protect my fence.

This is a great idea but fundamentally flawed. The clamp pad is fixed to the clamping screw! This means the pad scoots around the back side of your fence as you tighten, thus scuffing and scratching the surface. It also makes it hard to tighten the clamp really securely as it is very hard to get the thing to lay perpendicular to the fence. The cheapest C-clamp will have a swiveling pad. The added cost of doing this right couldn't of been more than a few cents.

Took me a lo-o-ong time to figure out why my cuts were so inconsistent. These clamps are slightly obtuse (greater than 90 degrees). This means that as you tighten the clamp (which can mess up your fence because the head doesn't swivel), the fence that you are clamping on is (a) getting tilted out at the bottom and (b) pushing down onto the table to create more friction. Both of these are bad things for accuracy! If they just bent the necks to be slightly LESS than 90 degrees these clamps would be good. If they made the head swivel these clamps would be excellent. As is, these clamps are poor.

Much more useful than first I saw. These fence clamps are at work everywhere in my shop now. Table saw fence, TS/Router removable fence, stops and quick mount jigs. I bought these for my tablesaw/router station, but now I have to get a couple more for my many other uses. I'm very happy I got these.

When I saw your Universal fence clamps and compared these to others on the market they just stand out. Way to many products look just wimpy. I have always been impressed with your jigs in my shop. Having just purchased I new table saw I just had to add these to my tool list.

Received my clamps on the day they said I would receive them. Used them the next day on my table saw cutting dados. Worked great and quick setting up my fence. Easier and quicker than using regular clamps.

I am Chairman of our Wood Shop committee in the Villages Golf & Country Club in San Jose, CA. We have over 150 key holders who use the shop and the other day I was checking out the shop and noticed that our brand new Powermatic 2000 fence had saw marks on it. Someone move the fence too close to the saw blade. I immediately went to the computer and ordered a set of Universal Fence Clamps. Hopefully it will keep the fence from further damage. We are currently considering a Wall Mounting Dust Collector for our shop.

I just got these to replace the 2 quick clamps that I have been using.. It was OOOOH so nice to get the clearance back. They work well and hold snug. To save myself a little effort in the future I drilled the mounting holes into a scrap of hardwood. Then I mounted the sacrificial MDF board to that with two 1-1/4&quot; drywall screws so I don't have to redrill my holes later when I hae sufficiently chewed up the sacrificial board. The screws are high of center and closer to the ends so they are out of the normal possible dado working area.

I have a long rip fence so I purchased two pair of clamps, putting 3 on the auxillary fence and using the forth with a spacer block at the beginning of the fence for making multiple pieces so they would not bind between the fence and the blade--worked super.

Very simple solution to a problem of making dado cuts into the edge of 3/4&quot; and 1/2&quot; plywood. My saw fence (Ryobi BT-3000) is great, but less than 3 inches high. I needed something to help me keep the stock vertical.These clamps did the trick. Drill two holes into the edge of a 2x6, use my Forstner bits to make clearance holes for insertion of the clamps, and &quot;Ta Da&quot; ... easier done than said.Plus, when dadoing or cutting right next to the fence, it's the 2x6 that the blade may rub against.Thanks for just what I needed.

I mounted my router on the end of my table saw and used these clamps to mount a really nice shop made router fence to my Delta T-30 Rip fence. What a great combination! The fit and finish of the clamps compliment the overall finish of my router fence and gives it a much more professional &quot;feel&quot; rather than a &quot;C&quot; clamp.

Sturdy and nicely finished. I use them to attach a sacrificial fence to the face of my table saw fence. The only problem with them is that the end of the clamp pad is bare metal and could scratch the back side of your fence. I bought some 3/4&quot; silicon self stick pads at Home Depot and stuck one on each of the clamp faces. Now they hold fast and don't mar my powder coated fence.

I needed to cut a dado in the bottom edge of an outside door. In order the keep the door vertical on my circular saw, I neede to extend the height of my fence. By using the Universal Fence Clamps I was able to make a 18&quot; high auxillary fence. I cut two 2 1/2&quot; dia holes near the bottom of the fence and drilled the 3/8&quot; dia holes from the bottom into the center of the 2 1/2&quot; holes. The clamp bars fit perfectly and it works great.

Bought a set for my router table fence. I have the router list installed on my table saw. These clamps were right to secure my shop made router fence to the table saws fence. I did glue a small peice of wood on the metal clamp faces to prevent marks on the table saw fence. The clamps work great, no problems at all. Well recommended.

I now have these clamps in my shop and could not love them any more than I already do. After reading comments that say &quot;will not fit PM2000 (my saw) fences&quot; I was worried. Fellas- these clamps unscrew from both directions- giving me almost 6&quot; capacity. My PM2000 fence is nowhere near that large. There is no fence in the civilized world these will not fit on.
